Question about pre-seed

Is it beneficial for TTC if you have little cervical mucus or is it simply a lubricant that is not harmful?

Re: Question about pre-seed

  • Mostly a lubricant that is sperm friendly.  However, this past cycle, my acupuncturist suggested it to me after I discussed my lack of EWCM.  Can't hurt to try, right?

  • I've been thinking it would be beneficial to give it a try for my lack of EWCM. Maybe on our medicated cycle we will try it too.
  • green tea will help you produce more CM

  • Thanks for the tip :)

  • I have had some allergic reactions to lubes in the past. I could use KY natural and definitely needed it: on the pill or off - I've just been dry. 

    Green tea helped during my FW, but we also bought the sperm-friendly preseed. We actually like it and will continue to use it as needed: TTC or not. I think it's worth it. And FWIW, a little goes a LONG way so the expense it worth it.  Which is awesome because I really don't want to bring it across the border again for a very long time. I still can't believe they looked for pails of fertilizer for 30 minutes and I am glad that I didn't have to explain it ;) 
    Congrats to my TTC buddy Madeline! Cheering for all the strong 3T ladies!

  • green tea will help you produce more CM

    This is what I've been trying... My question is for how long... I drank a glass of green tea everyday of my last cycle, and I'm getting totally burned out on it. Anyone have any advice?

    You only need to drink it up to O! Than you can take a break. It's not really important once you've O'd, since the whole point is to help you produce more/quality CM, and especially EWCM.
